They were planted in August. One considerable item of loss to Wilmington merchants incident to the recent storm, during, which the wharves were flooded, was injury by water to several hundred bales of deer tongue which were piled along the water front in different places. It was being "put out to sun" by a number of people yesterday. There was also damage to a number of fiat loads in transit down the river. The Committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to arrange for a reception at The Orton to the officials of the Seaboard Air Line during their vSsft here this week, met yesterday at the rooms of the Cham ber.

No BUI of Indictment Sent , Before Qrtnd Jury Here Proceedings ia the U. S. Court Yesterday. The United States District Court, His Honor Judge Thos. R. Purnell presiding, which has been in session here since last Tuesday, finished up its business and adjourned yesterday afternoon. It was anticipated that the court at this term would try the case against A. J. Marshall, Esq., a well known member of the Wilmington bar, who was arrested last Spring on the charge of being an accomplice of Nick Politz in counterfeiting silver coin, but Dis trict Attorney Bernard did not even send a bill before the -grand jury. Government Detective B. F. Perry, of Charlotte, who worked up the coun terfeiting case, was here to attend the expected trial as a witness. As to the case against Mr. Marshall the following entry appears upon yes terday's court record: "Continued for bill; defendant required to renew his bond." It will be remembered that the casa against Mr. Marshall was continued from the May term of the court, and that he gave bond in the amount of $5,000 for his appearance for trial at this term. There has been much speculation as to the failure of the District At torney to send in a bill in this caso, but there are good reasons for believ ing' that the trial will not take place in Wilmington but will be held in Ra leigh next month. Theodore Darkley, the young Greek who has been con fined iajail here since June 12t'i as a witness in this case, because he could not give a bond of $1,000 was released on bond yesterday afternoon through the effort of his attorney, B. G. Em pie, Esq. His bond was reduced to $100, and that amount, in lieu of . a bond, was retained out of the fee which he gets as a witness in durance. The government allows him one dol lar per day and his board for every day he is heldta jail as a witness. Up to yesterday he had been confined in jail 145 Says, and in addition to the fee allowed, his expense for medicine and medical attendance was allowed.he having had a spell of sickness during his confinement It is learned on good authority that when his bond was taken yesterday afternoon it was for his appearance as a witness during the first week of the December term of the District Court to be held at Raleigh, This would indicate that the case against Mr. Marshall is to be trans ferred to Raleigh. At the session of the court yesterday cases were disposed of as follows : U. S. vs. Cypress Distillery Com pany, continued for bill. U. S vs. T. J. Gore, indicted for the removal of spirits from unstamped packages. . Defendant admitted that his agent without defendant's knowl ege or consent and against his instruc tions failed to mak the proper entries on the book required by law to be kept at the distillery, but he denied that there was' any intent to defraud the government. This plea was accepted and the case was dismissed upon the payment of a penalty of $100 and the costs. U. S. vs. James Blue, violation of the U. S. revenue law, continued. De fendant required to give bond in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance at the December term at Raleigh. U. S. vs. W. E. Black, former post master at Carthage, N. C, charged with misappropriating postoffice funds. Continued to the Decemberterm at Ralefgh. Defendant was required to give a Dona oi ji,uw. U. S. vs. John Graham, convicted of retailing liquor without license; judg ment suspended on payment of the costs amounting to $56.62. which was paid. S. W. Skinner vs. George Harriss, Jr., libel involving the ownership of the barque Marion S. Harriss, argued as to jurisdiction by Col. Thos. Evaus forCapt, Skinner, and by Messrs. Geo. Rountree, E. K. Bryan and George H. Howell, for the defendant. The Judge took the papers and reserved his de cision. River Shipping Notes. The steamer Hurt arrived from Fayetteville at 8 o'clock yesterday morning and cleared last evening on the return trip with a cargo of general merchandise. The Howes came in from up Black river Friday night and cleared at 3.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the return. The Driver did not clear yesterday but will return to Fayetteville Mon day. She is being handsomely re painted and when completed win oe one of the prettiest boats on the river. The Driver was at her wharf yester day looking none the worst for her rough experience with the storm Mon day nieht at Navassa. She proved on this occasion one of the sturdiest of the river craft The steamer Seabright cleared last night about 9 o'clock for the return to Little River, S. C, with a heavy cargo of general merchandise. Capt Sanders says Jhat it is the schooner Spray, which is bottom up in Shallotte Inlet and not the Stonewall as reported yes terday. The Stonewall has not been heard of since the storm, though her crew got ashore all safe in small boats. The Sneed-Fuller Co. will for a few days only, continue their dining room chair sale.

The Winter's Tale" Presented by a Strosg Company Coining Attrac tiois This Week. 'The Winter's Tale" was most sue cessfully presented by the great star triumvirate Kidder, James and Han- ford at the Opera House last night ui me piay nseir nothing ot course need be said; 'twas Shakespeare's one of his prettiest plays -presented by a company that ranks among the best that has ever visited Wilmington. The triumvirate, as a whole and in dividually, sustained their well de served and enviable reputation. Louis James, in the comic role of Avtolycus, a rogue, was excellent and the audience regretted that the plot did not enable them to see more of him. James Hanford, as Leontes, King of Sicilia, portrayed the charac ter in a most impressive and credit able manner. Kathryn Kidder, in the double role of Hermione, Queen, and Perdita, daughter of Leontes and Hermione, was superb. The acting and scenery were excel lent throughout but the climax was appropriately reached in the last scene of the last act and it is safe to say that a more effective and impressive scene has never been witnessed on the Wil mington stage. The audience was fasthonable and select, but the performance the best of its kind ever witnessed here de served a much larger patronage.- The criticisms every where have been most complimentary and it is to ba regretted tha.t more of the theatre-goers did not have the pleasure of seeing it. Lovers of good music, clever sing ing and dancing, combined with pure and wholesome comedy, will have the opportunity of witnessing some excel -tent performances at the Opera House next week, for charming little Mabel Paige, who justly bears the well earn ed title of "The Idol of the South," in conjunction with Marshall's Musical Comedy Company,is billed to begin an engagement to morrow night Ma bel Paige is too well known in the South to require any introduc tion, and her managers, Messrs. Marshall & Co., have spared no ex pense in surrounding her with a com pany of capable and versatile artists. The company's repertoire is a large one and includes a number of bright mu sical comedies, among which are "The Little Cadet" "Wicklow Lass," "The Elopement" "Miss Juliet," "Down in Mississippi," "Mss Kora," "The Lit tle Rebel," "A Bachelor's Dilemma," TneOirl from Ireland." "Charity Bob," "Under the Cuban Star." " In the Highlands," etc. As it has been the custom of companies playing week stands to play at popular prices, 10, 21 and 30 cents, there will be no devia tion from this rule during this en gagement, although the expense of equipping and maintaining this organ ization is much greater than that of the ordinary repertoire companies. lo- morrow night ladies will be ad mitted free of charge if accompanied by a person holding oae pid 30 cents ticket. The Little Egyptian will be the opening bill. NEW WHOLESALE HOUSE. Messrs. Cooper & Cooper, of Mulling. S. C. Will Open Grocery Business. Messrs. Cooper & Cooper, a firm of two enterprising young business men who have successfully controlled a large retail mercantile supply house at Mullins, S. C , for a number of years, have decided to close their store in the last named place, and will at a very early date open up a wholesale busi ness here. They have already rented the commodious and eligibly located new brick store house on Nutt street between the Worth building and that of the Armour Packing Company, and will open their doors to the trade in a very few days. Both members of the firm are brothers of Mr. W. B. Cooper, one of Wilmington's most successful whole sale merchants, and the Star joins many friends in wishing them a long and successful existence in their busi ness career in North Carolina's most favored commercial centre. Monthly Fire Report. The report of Chief Charles Schnib- ben, of the Wilmington fire depart ment, for the month of October, as it will be presented to the Board of Al dermen at the regular monthly meet ing to-morrow night, will show the following statistics of interest to the public: During the month the department responded to'fifteen alarms, eleven of which were by bell, three by tele phone and one still alarm.

Northern capitalists have con summated the "deal, heretofore al luded to, by which they secure an option on the plant of the Wilmington Gaslight Company. It is understood that only the details of the purchase re main to be arranged and that the pro perty is soon to be transferred to the new company. ' The Wilmington Gaslight Company is a corporation composed mostly of stockholders who reside in this city, and it operates both a gas and electric plant The representative of the new purchase was here the past week to consummate the trade and it is under stood that he has gone back frorth to close up the transaction. It is said that when the new pur chasers get control the company will be reorganized and the plant operated on a scale that will revolutionize things. New methods and the latest improvements are to be inaugurated by the new purchasers. IMPROVEMENT OP PRINCESS STREET How Shall This Important Thoroughfare Be Paved? It is presumed that the Board of Al dermen, which meets to-morrow nieht in regular monthly session, will take up this important matter. This street has become one of the principal thoroughfares of the city, as it leads to the public buildings, includ ing -the city hall, the county court house and opera house, and the man ner of its improvement should be a matter of earnest and careful consider ation. Its pavement has been in con templation for several years, and cer tainly it should be attended to without delay, for it has been one of the most neglected streets of our city reeking with deep mud holes in wet weather, from Front street to Third street, and in dry and windy weather being a dust producer of gigantic proportions. The fact is it has become an eye sore. The Stab is reliably informed by one of the members of the Finance Committee that with the view to mak ing a permanent improvement of this street either with asphalt or vitrified brick, the unusually large appropria tion of $25,000 was agreed upon by the Finance Committee, to be appropriated in the annual budget for streets and wharves improvements, realizing that such improvement as this thorough fare requires and should have would cost several thousand dollars. There has been some talk of maca damizing the street with shell or phos phate rock, but it is hoped that the Streets and Wharves Committee will not decide upon such material for the work. Not only the citizens and tax payers on the street will not approve of such an improvement but the citi zens of Wilmington at large are not in favor of having so important a thor oughfare improved with such mate rial. It would be money wasted, as in a very few years it would be in about as bad condition as it is now. The repairs it would require from year to year, added to the expenditure for the improvement would pay for per manent work. The Wrecked Sailors. Captain F. C. Miller, of the steamer Catharine Whitney, of New York, which was wrecked at Goss Beach, on the Brunswick county coast on Tues day morning during the hurricane, made arrangements yesterday for him self and the seventeen men of his crew to leave to day for New York on the Clyde steamer 2Veio York. The steamer will sail at 2 o'clock this after noon from the wharf of the Cape Fear Lumber Company. The second officer, Mr. Frank John son, who was struct by a piece or timber and knocked from the bridge, getting his hand severely cut in a fall of twelve feet while the ship was going to pieces, is getting along very well, considering his rough experi ence. Street Work. Superintendent of Streets J. A. Perry has been engaged since Wednesday in cleaning up the debris left by the recent storm. All the city carts and wagons have been'in constant use and the job has been an unusually tedious one. Mr. Perry says he is unable to state when he can get more of the phosphate rock for the permanent street improvement. The convicts at Castle Hayne for the most part have been transferred to the different State farms to pick the cotton crops and the quarries there have not been ope rated for some time. It is expected that at to-morrow night's meeting of the Board of Aldermen some action will be taken looking to the Princess street work, the need of which is be coming more apparent every day. Funeral This Afternoon. The funeral of little Jerrie D. Dre- her, whose death was announced in yesterday's Star, will be held from the residence of his parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Dreher, No. 807 Princess street, this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The services will be conducted by Rev. A. . Voiet. D.

The tug Alexander Jones returned Friday night to Southport having missed the abondoned schooner Annie T. Bailey off Frying Pan lightship, for which she went on Thursday after noon. The Bailey had been previous ly taken in tow Thursday by the Mer chants' and Miners Transportation" Company's steamer Essex, bound from Baltimore to Savannah, and carried to a point twelve miles off the Charleston lightship, from whence she was sub sequently taken by the Charleston tug Waban into Charleston harbor. Second officer Turner, of the Essex ; js in charge of her. The Bailey had lumber from Fernandina to Washing-, ton, D. C. The Jones went out again for a cruise along the coast yesterday but up to last night she brought tidings of no further wrecks. With her mate, the Blanche, on the beach at South- port, the Jones is "playing in extreme- y hard luck." The Local Cotton Market. In sympathy with the New York and Liverpool quotations the local cotton market yesterday experienced an advance of one-eighth and the tone was firm. With the advance'in prices comes increased receipts, 2,835 bales having been reported at the Produce Exchange yesterday against 3, 988 bales on the corresponding day in 1898. The quotations last year on November 4th were on a basis of only 4 cents for middling a difference in favor of the producer of two and three-eighths cents per pound. The British steamship Slingsby, of 2,094 tons burthen, Capt. Morck, was cleared last night by Mr. J. H. Sloan for Bremen, Germany, with a cargo of 10,094 bales of cotton, 5,022,941 pounds, valued at $376,720. A Preacher's Rebuke. The Richmond Times of last Sun day comments approvingly upon Rev. John Stanly Thomas' preface to a re cent sermon delivered at the Suffolk city hall on modern pulpitering, which has been widely copied and endorsed by a number of leading journals in several States. Rev. Mr. Thomas is well known and deservedly popular in Wilmington, and his friends will learn with gratification that his ser monsfearlessly and eloquently de livered as they are are earning for him a widespread reputation and that they are accomplishing much good in his newly chosen field. Barque Jofaanne. The' Norwegian barque Johanne, Capt. Thorsen, which was slightly in jured during the recent storm while at quarantine at the Cape Fear station, was yesterday towed by the Marion to Paterson, Downing & Cb.'s naval stores yard, where she will begin load ing. The underwriters' agent was here yesterday and a board of survey was held, the report of which will be made to the owners. It can, however, be definitely stated that she will repair here and will be delayed very little by reason of her accident She is con signed to Messrs. Heide & Co. Sociable Wednesday Evening. One of the pleasant events announ ced for the coming week is a sociable, which will be given at Hibernian Hall next 'Wednesday evening for the benefit of St. Thomas church. Arrangements for the affair are in the hands of a competent committee, which is sparing no pains to make it equal if not excel all previous enter tainments of this kind which have been attended in years past with the great est of success. Refreshments will be served and an admission fee of twenty five cents for adults and ten cents for children will be charged. Magistrate's Court.

Eure looked into the situation, and Mr. McQueen tells a Star representative that he thinks the trask can be replaced and the dam age to the road can be repaired for $600. At a meeting of the company on Tuesday night it was determined to repair the railroad from the river pier to its terminus on the beach. Mr. Mc Queen says the work will be com menced at once, so the rails that were carried by the high water into the sound can be gotten out before cold weather sets in. The terrible work of the storm un daunts the company and nothing will be left undone to rehabilitate this popular seaside resort by the time the next season opens. Funeral of Mr. Z.
